KITIMAT – Feel free to let BC Transit operators take care of your driving worries on Canada Day. BC Transit and the District of Kitimat are encouraging everyone to enjoy a safe and happy holiday by taking a free ride on Tuesday July 1, 2014 from 10 am until 6 pm.
BC Transit hopes our Kitimat customers take advantage of the free service to watch the Kitimat Kinsmen Club Canada Day Parade at noon or to spend time with family and friends.
Kitimat Transit will be offering Sunday service levels with a couple of minor changes. Route #3 Kildala will not travel to the Riverlodge parking lot. Customers are asked to catch the bus on Columbia Boulevard instead.
Route #1A Whitesail, on the noon run only to accommodate the parade, will head directly up Lahakas Boulevard (not via Tsimshian/Wakashan.)
Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said, “The District of Kitimat is pleased to partner with BC Transit to provide free bus service to the citizens of Kitimat on July 1st – Happy Canada Day!”
“We are pleased to support the District of Kitimat by offering free rides to our customers on Canada Day,” said BC Transit President and CEO Manuel Achadinha. “We hope celebrants take advantage of the free service to safely mark Canada’s 147th birthday.”
